that the self interest is so great, they believe this loss is necessary "for the greater good" - they think people should die for them. I confronted my repub "friend" and said that if he supports the admin in this war ... he should enlist. He responded with something cryptic like "there are many ways to serve your country, not just in the infantry" and some shit about how I don't know about his dealings with the government "past, present, or future". He's trying to act all top secret. Poor guy's become delusional.

I encourage all of you to donate if you can.
I challenge other DU members to at least match my $25 donation. You can send it in online, it takes just 30 seconds.
